Tips & Advice

How can you find healthy food options at a restaurant?

There are many ways to find and select healthy food options at restaurants. Many menus will clearly identify healthier options, but most are going to be common-sense decisions. Avoid heavy, fatty, fried, or sugary foods, and maybe ask for creamy sauces and salad dressings to be served on the side. Lighter foods, like salads or vegetable dishes, are typically healthy options (depending on what is in them). Talk to your server for healthy options on or off the menu.

Do all restaurants offer specialty food options, like vegan and gluten free?

No, all restaurants do not offer specialty food options. However, as people become more health conscious, many restaurants adapt their menu to accommodate more requests and healthier choices, like gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan options. No place is required to have those options; it’s really a business decision on the restaurant’s part. Know your options before going in to ensure you have the best possible selection and experience.

Is it generally acceptable to make substitutions when ordering?

This is always a tricky situation. Yes, you can usually make substitutions (unless noted otherwise), within reason. If you have food allergies, talk to your server to get clarity on safe menu items, but don’t be that person that takes 20 minutes to order with 50 questions. Want mashed potatoes instead of salad? No sauce or extra sauce? Need gluten-free options? Of course these are reasonable requests, so make those within reason. Some restaurants will accommodate off-menu items, so ask about those, too.

How to select the right restaurant to fit the occasion

To select the right restaurant for your event , start with the occasion and number of guests and a budget. Having 25 guests will eliminate some places right away, while others might even have party rooms available. Or are you looking for a quiet romantic spot to propose (or break up!)? That will eliminate places geared toward kids and families. You can find any and all options by going online. Make sure to plan as far ahead as possible so you can get a reservation. Some places can be very hard to get into, especially if you have a large party or need special accommodations.

How should you make a wine selection?

You can ask your server or sommelier (the staff wine expert) for recommendations. If you want to be fancy, and who doesn’t, you can pair your wine with your meal. Traditionally, lighter wines like roses or chardonnays pair with lighter fare, like fish or vegetable dishes; and darker reds, like cabernet or merlot, pair with heavier dishes like steaks or chops. The truth is that the right wine for you or your meal is the one you like best. Just don’t put ice in your wine glass, that’s just not cool.

What is the proper amount to tip a server at a restaurant?

Traditionally, in the United States, it has been customary to tip 15 percent for good service and 20 percent for really good service. Of course if the service is awful, you have the option of leaving nothing at all. At most restaurants, tipping is not part of your dining obligation and, therefore, you are free to tip whatever amount you like. Some restaurants factor the tip into the actual bill, especially if you have a large party. Tipping isn’t typically done in many other countries, so know the local customs.

What is an eviction notice?

An eviction notice is a legal document that landlords need to serve tenants to begin the process of having them removed the property. There are different kinds of “eviction with cause” notices that require the renter/lessor to stop violating terms of the lease, with removal from the promises as a final measure if they don’t comply. These are issued when rent is overdue, or when a tenant is in violation of a specific term of a lease. Unconditional evictions are the harshest, and usually only appropriate when a tenant is a repeat violator of a clause, or has done something illegal.There is an “eviction notice without cause,” and many states either don’t allow it, or require landlords to give extra notice--up to 60 days--from the point of serving it to the point when the actual eviction suit can begin. Before entering into an agreement, research the laws in your state.

What happens if rent is not paid on time?

If rent is not paid on time, a variety of things can happen. Sometimes a late fee will be assessed—this will be stipulated in the lease agreement. More commonly, there will be a written warning or even a few-day grace period -- especially if it’s a first-time infringement or if the rent is collected by an individual landlord rather than a management company,If rent goes unpaid for 14 days when there is no lease, the landlord will generally evict. If there is a lease, the landlord will often begin eviction proceedings at 30 days, unless a late payment arrangement has been reached.The more often someone is late with the rent, , the quicker and harsher the landlord’s actions are liable to be. A record of late payment can also negatively impact someone’s ability to get approved for future leases.

What type of maintenance is a renter responsible for?

A renter is usually only responsible for maintenance necessitated by abuse or neglect of the property. Landlord/building management is usually responsible for the rest. However, cosmetic repairs, such as changing light bulbs or washing carpets, is usually left up to the tenant. And even though a landlord might be financially responsible for other maintenance, it’s often left up to the tenant to coordinate and supervise.

What is a sublet?

A sublet is when a person who is leasing an apartment re-rents to another party. The legalities of this are very tricky, and many landlords/managers outright disallow it on the lease document. However, in situations where there’s an established lease-holder who needs to leave for a predetermined length of time, there are legal procedures to sub-lease. Not all landlords might consent, even if the primary lease holder applies in writing and follows legal procedure.It is very important that, when considering a sublet, you understand the situation between the owner and the lease-holder, because in a hostile sub-lease situation, the sub-leaser risks losing the money they paid in rent to the primary lease-holder.

The food was excellent and so was the service. I read reviews from other sources and was worried about the food and service that I was getting ready to receive them, but I was pleasantly surprised. I would definitely go back again. Between five of us we had the MVP breakfast, BLT and fries, and a order of fried pickles. All of the food Was excellent

Food is good but horrible customer service. My parents drove 2 hours to visit me and have dinner and few drinks on a Saturday night. Bruffs is open till 1:00am on Saturday nights, yet we were rushed out at 11:45 by a drunk waitress named Brandi (who wasn't even our server) that kept coming up to our table and telling us we had 10 minutes to leave and how it was the worst place to work for. On top of that, the place started shutting lights and music off while we were trying to finish our beers. A manager was also there witnessing the situation and did nothing. We spent about $100 total only to be treated that way. I will never go back. I've had better experiences at mcdonalds! If you are looking to have a nice dinner and a beer, I would advise going somewhere else.

Do Not go here. Unless you have lots of time to waste. We went in here for breakfast at 10:00 am. We ordered and did not get our food for 1 1/2 hours. The waitress kept coming to the table and assuring us that our food was on the way. When we finally got our food they had left the bacon off of the breakfast burgers. We complained that the bacon had been left off. So because the service had been so slow and the bacon left off of the breakfast burger the waitress offered us dessert. She said she would fix it to go. 15 min later we got up and left with no dessert.
